Sasha Obama was seen smoking a cigarette while leaving a Labor Day party in Los Angeles Monday.
The 22-year-old daughter of former President Barack Obama wore a barely-there, colorful bikini top, which she paired with a midriff-baring, blue maxi skirt.
Sasha, who was photographed taking several puffs of the cigarette while chatting to her pals, added a pair of black flip-flops to complete her look.
She wore her long, braids loose and left her belly button ring on full display, as she appeared to go makeup-free for the outing in West Hollywood, Calif.
It isnāt the first time the recent University of Southern California (USC) graduate has been seen smoking through the years.
It seems she may have picked up the habit from her politician father, who once admitted he smoked up to 10 cigarettes a day.
Barack, 62, started smoking in his teenage years but promised his wife, Michelle Obama, he would quit before campaigning for president.
āAs a former smoker I constantly struggle with it,ā he said in a 2009 press conference.
āHave I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker or a constant smoker? Noā
In his 2020 memoir, āA Promised Land,ā he credited his eldest daughter Malia, now 25, with helping him quit.
Barack wrote that seeing her āfrownā when she āsmelled it on his breathā made him determined to stop.
Michelle, 59, recently revealed that Sasha and Malia have been living in Los Angeles after graduating from USC and Harvard University, respectively.
āThe thing that I love the most is that those two girls are each otherās best friends,ā she told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on the āTodayā show last November.
āThere was a period of time when they couldnāt stand each other, and I said, āYou wait, you are going to wake up one day and youāre going to look over at that other person, and youāre going to know that you two share something very unique,ā especially given what theyāve been through,ā the former First Lady added.
She also noted that seeing her girls āin that place where theyāre one anotherās support systems and theyāve got each otherās backs, itās the thing that a mother would want.ā
Since relocating to the West Coast, the duo have been spotted out on the town, most recently partying into the early hours of the morning with Drake at The Bird Streets Club.
